One of the males brandished a black handgun while the second male attempted to enter a locked office

From the media's lack of racial description I'm sure the gun was not the only black thing involved in the robbery. Good thing this wasn't NYC, not only would the owner have the trauma of an attempted robbery, the the NYC police (those ever vigilant gaurdians of liberty) would have arrested him for assault on the robbers or shot him.

That or charged him with ‘impeding the business practice of a citizen’.
If they were to be from NJ, the charge would be ‘interference with interstate commerce’.

Of course the store owner would really be in trouble if he had an 18 ozer of soda or pack of cigarettes without NY sticker-

the perps would be offered counseling for the trauma of facing a pistol and start receiving Social Security payments because they were/are suffering from PTSD and workplace stress.

Who dare say this is not the ‘Land of Opportunity’?

Any New Jerseyan who has a legal handgun can have it at their place of business. Without a carry permit, handgun owners in NJ are only allowed to have it at home, place of business (owners), the range, or in proper transport between the three.
